The PR value of Simple Send can’t be understated. This is what the industry needs, and I think the media will respect that. This won’t have to be positioned as “FIO Simple Send” or something specific to “us” or “our” tribe. This is a story about the whole industry coming together to do what’s required to prepare itself for mass adoption. As major industry players like PayPal or Venmo include support for cryptocurrency, if they provide lookup APIs, Simple Send can include those too. With each new entry to the market, this solution grows larger and overcomes the network effect. Everyone wins.
Collected Feedback from Wallets on the Concept:
Jaxx Wallet
Live discussion. They are focused on user acquisition. They do not support any naming system. Founder is skeptical that naming systems make things easier as he believes users then have to learn about public addresses and the naming system. Simple send didn’t make a difference in his interest in integrating. What got some interest from him was discussions around how FIO can generate income for them.
imToken
Telegram discussion. Support ENS today. Simple Send did not immediately catch his interest. Offered to enable registration of Unstoppable domains through their Dapp center. “David Gold (fioprotocol.io), [Jan 20, 2021 at 12:44:08 PM]:
...With respect to "Simple Send", it would enable imToken users to send to all major wallet naming systems...FIO, ENS, Unstoppable and integration is 1 day of work including testing as it is just an API call. So, our question on Simple Send is whether that is helpful to imToken in that you'd be able to do a single integration and immediately support the ability for your users to send to all the major naming systems (and other additional systems that get added in the future without any additional integration work).

We can do it without thinking about money, I mainly think about usefulness for users, currently we have tens of thousands of transfers per day, but only a few of them use ENS domains.
So if you want, we can consider putting up the FIO DApp for users to experience and buy, but not the "Simple Send" feature for now”
